BioFuels Atlas is an interactive map for comparing biomass feedstocks and biofuels by location. This tool helps users select from and apply biomass data layers to a map, as well as query and download biofuels and feedstock data. The state zoom function summarizes state energy use and infrastructure for traditional and bioenergy power, fuels, and resources. The tool also calculates the biofuels potential for a given area. BioFuels Atlas was developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory with funding from the DOE Biomass Program.

TransAtlas is an interactive map that uses a Google Maps interface to display: Existing and planned alternative fueling stations Alternative fuel production facilities Light-duty vehicle density Roads and political boundaries Users can customize the map display and print and query the underlying data. TransAtlas is part of a suite of geographic analysis tools for renewable energy developed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Notes: Fuel use is measured in gasoline-gallon equivalents (GGEs), representing a quantity of fuel with the same energy content as a gallon of gasoline.

This chart shows average fuel economy of major vehicle categories in the United States. Refuse trucks and transit buses have relatively low fuel economy since they are heavy and drive stop-and-go drivecycles. Class 8 trucks, which carry even heavier loads yet drive more consistent drivecycles, also have relatively low fuel economy. For comparison, see Average Per-Passenger Fuel Economy and Average Annual Fuel Use of Major Vehicle Categories.
